I'm asking because recently due to a crap load of University work I have had to get up early and I'm getting between 7-8 hours sleep. I wake up and feel so tired, feel like crap. Usually when I get between 9 and 10, I am feeling crisp and so refreshed. Other people I have spoken to find it odd to sleep so much, is it just me that can't operate properly below 8 hours sleep?

Everybody's sleep cycle is different. Your body will become used to the sleep cycle you give it as long as it is regular. Try and set a specific time for sleep each night and wake up to an alarm (if you're looking to cut back to 6-8 hours). After a couple of weeks you'll probably be adjusted.

you got to readin' while you were doing your time for growin' dope, huh Rick?

Good answer though. I was just going to say that I find as I get older I need less and less sleep.
